5.0 Point to Multipoint Configuration
5.2.2 Configuration Using Factory Defaults
Factory default setting commands can be used to aid in the configuration and deployment of the Pico
series modules, providing a known starting point in the configuration process for each unit type. Using
the factory default commands sets all applicable registers to factory recommended settings and allows
initial connectivity between units. Configuring modems using the factor default settings have the follow-
ing benefits:
hastens the configuration process - load default settings and, if necessary, apply only minor
settings / adjustments
aids in troubleshooting - if settings have been adjusted and basic communications cannot be
established, simply revert to the applicable factory default setting and any improper adjust-
ments will be overwritten and a ‘fresh start’ can be made with known-to-work settings
For many networks, the factory default commands may be all that is necessary to configure and deploy
a simple Point to Multipoint Network. Other applications may require additional registers to be config-
ured. Regardless of the complexity of the configuration, the factory default settings provide a starting
point for all configurations. All unit types have a factory default setting command.
AT&F7 - Point to Multipoint Master
AT&F8 - Point to Multipoint Slave
AT&F9 - Point to Multipoint Repeater
The screen shots for each unit type will highlight the key registers that are automatically changed to
create a Point to Point configuration. There may also be additional registers such as the Network ID that
are recommended to be changed.
Each PMP Network
must have a unique
network ID. This can
be changed using
register S104: Network
Address.
